Chum Reap Suor,
As the month of March comes to an end, we remain united, strong and deeply thankful for your continued support and patience during these uncertain times.
The country is now preparing for the Khmer New Year festivities – a joyful time when our team members return to their hometowns for a well-deserved break with their families.
Holiday notice: Both our Phnom Penh and Siem Reap offices will be closed from Tuesday, 14 April to Thursday, 16 April 2026.
In this month’s edition, we are excited to share some new experiences: our “Young Pastry Chefs: Baking for Good” for families and the revival of our “Sunset Quad Bike Adventure.” We are also proud to highlight our Travel For Good (TFG) products that directly support the local community.
Happy reading!

Young Pastry Chefs

Why we like it: This is a perfect combination of a fun baking experience that contributes meaningfully to the community. It is also a wonderful way to spend time in Siem Reap town, a hidden gem that travellers often overlook.
Best suited for: Families and children who love baking, learning new skills and, of course, eating chocolate.
Sunset Quad
Bike Adventure
Half Day
Embrace the beauty of the Cambodian countryside on a guided quad bike adventure. Navigate red-dirt tracks through traditional villages and vibrant rice paddies, ending with refreshments as the sun begins to set. This experience offers a blend of adrenaline and serene natural scenery during the ‘golden hour’.
Why we like it: It is a thrilling way to get off the beaten path and see the ‘real’ Cambodia beyond the temples. We love the contrast between the excitement of the ride and the peaceful atmosphere of the rural villages at sunset.

EXO Cares Challenge 2025–2026 Edition
To encourage our team to strengthen their commitment to sustainability, our Purpose team challenged us! Across all EXO destinations, we are so proud that Sivlinh was awarded 2nd place.
Sivlinh is a Travel Consultant in our Series team, and I’m sure many of you already know her. She is incredibly dedicated to her work, and her personal initiatives are truly inspiring – going above and beyond for the planet!
Highlights of her initiatives: Her projects were incredibly diverse, with a fantastic focus on education, advocacy and teamwork. She used her YouTube channel to share plant-care knowledge and practiced ‘digital decarbonization’ by cleaning up her cloud storage to reduce energy use. Her social impact was equally strong: she regularly donated blood, purchased fruit from vendors with disabilities, recycled kitchen waste for her plants and contributed to food banks to support those in need in her community.
